[issue26662] configure/Makefile doesn't check if "python" command works, needed to build Objects/typeslots.inc

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

The PYTHON_FOR_GEN scheme seems reasonable to me, as is changing the way typeslots script is run.

I do wonder about the advice in the message. If I ran into the problem, I would probably either override PYTHON_FOR_GEN when running Make, or try something like “make touch” instead. But that’t not a big deal.
